The phenomenon of the endless series, or why the fact that we do not have Half-Life 3-good?

When you suddenly lose your computer, for some reason all sorts of unusual thoughts begin to climb into my head. Some they climb, but not the point.
For some reason, left alone with the console and multipleor of the third Unharted, I began to think about the main synonym for success-the endless series, or, if rudely speaking-the house cow. However, this expression is not entirely correct.
I don’t know how for you, but for me, the expression “dairy cow” indicates a kind of product that is actively quoted, based on all subsequent adjacent products not on quality, but, as it happens, the fame of the source. Probably, the images of such series as Call of Duty (but I hurry to notice that BO2 was very pleased with me), Assasin’s Creed, Need for Speed and others immediately surfaced. However, if in their case, the quality is often smoothly rolling around the inclined from the series, to the series, and this is no longer for anyone, then what to do with good, and even cult series that have not been subjected to stamping and self -digging, but depending on the original, and balancing on the verge of absolute wine, and total plum?

I say right away – all this nonsense, as it happens, hit me in my head yesterday after midnight before bedtime, so if you do not find a binder of the paragraphs of the thread of the thread here, and as a result you won’t understand the nichrome, I apologize, as you could and wrote it, and wrote it. Oh yes, let’s do without any ko-ko-cortin from Google, which everyone saw so, okay?

So, it occurred to me in my head, Players Club Vip Casino review when the Uncharted 3 is overlapping – you see, I, such a person who, first of all, is not that she expects to see wines in her – I’m more afraid of draining in the end. In terms of plots, of course. And it is with the repeated passage, I noticed that I get more pleasure from the game than for the first time – because I know that in the end, the game will remain as cool, and such a feeling as from the final Mass Effect 3 (without extended Cut) will definitely not be.
And all why? Because (I think it will not be a Jooski spoiler, or a great discovery) a series of Uncharted-it is like a typical film (gee-gee-gee, tediously joined) the 80s-charismatic heroes, spectacular scenes that amaze imagination, and traditional happy ending. And how else? Imagine what will happen if the Naughty Dog just took it, and ditch Drake, Sally, Elena, and others (that is, almost all) significant and delivering characters of the series. It would be a point. A large and oily point on the Uncharted series, which will not work out to erase. And the developers understand this, so you can be calm for the series and its plots, and enjoy the gameplay (I mean ugly like me who cannot do it just like that).

Now let’s look at the Mass Effect series. An example is a better, common and visual. Do you see, there was no longer there was nothing left to curse and perplex from the ending. No, I will not breed srach regarding this – if you need my opinion, then I am completely in solidarity with toma in this regard.
All salt in the other – ME3, this is the final, and the irrevocable point in the Universe Mass Effect 3.
Just remember what happened in a year, before the release of the third part – the disputes of the fans did not subside, the sites painted from pre -orders, the gaming portals prophesied “GOTY” and so on, so on, so on.
What did we get after the exit? Shepard’s story ended, and as a result-everyone licked, fucked up, and forgot. Everyone forgot. Even the most devoted fans began to shit on DLC and continued. Fan films and books (both official and not very) began to cost exactly as much as money and paper on them were spent, and no more.
Let us admit that recently, we would not even remember this great series, if not for the greedy EA with their “three in one at a price of three in one”, and some jokers, with their second disk in a box with BO2.

Now let’s take, probably, the largest, most significant and shitty project-Half-Life 3 (or Half-Life 2: Episode Three, who like it more).
Without a calculator and not count how many people are now waiting for a long -awaited announcement. And if you are one of them, then just imagine the situation – Valve made an announcement. And so, you are ready to open a bottle of champagne, which you prepared on this day, when suddenly, the next statement is going on-“Half-Life 3 will be the last game in the series. Gabe Newell noted that this time the players are waiting for a completely completed story that will put an end to the series “.
I don’t know how for you, but for me, this is a decent reason to go into deep depression.
Why? No, I’m not afraid of draining the ending – Valve is not the ones that can just take it, and to dash the finale. I’m afraid for another. Just ask yourself-“Why do we love Half-Life?”. For gameplay and mechanics-if so, then why do we love precisely Half-Life, and not, Team Fortress, for example, or say Left 4 Dead? Ordinary shooters, on the same engines.
Maybe for the fucked soundtrack, from which goosebumps go on the skin (“Typo sign of really suitable music”)? Undoubtedly, this time is not.
We love the Half-Life series for the Universe, shrouded in a veil of atmospheric mystery and anti-utopia. Okay, I will not judge everyone by myself, but it was the universe and the “living” characters that made me love this series once and for all.
I can rant on this topic for tens of minutes, drooling delightedly, but if you played, you don’t need to explain anything.

And this is precisely what is, let’s say, the “subject of the final”. It doesn’t matter what the point will be in the series – epic, sweeping, piercing to tears. But if it is set, the universe dies. Universe of any game (for example, Mass Effect), books (Harry Potter), the series (Lost) is alive exactly until the moment that it ends not with a point, but three.
Many may disagree with me – “This is, you know, an unfinished story is better than the completed?”. “And so” – my answer will sound. Half-Life, just, in my opinion, the exception to the “Game> Universe” rule, but quite the other way around.
Just remember dozens of mods (and the same Black Mesa and Garrys Mod, which exceeded millions of something there), amateur films (some of which, have become a debut for many beginner directors), poor fanfiction and good narratives “based on motives”, and other things that are already difficult to imagine, in its current form, in its current form.
Now imagine that the long -awaited Half -Life 3 will finish the series, and therefore will cut down all these aspects that we love to us, leaving us nothing else, as if completing the passage, to postpone the disc on the distant shelf, and in prostration to realize: “I have just finished the journey at a length of children,” after which, after which, after which it is more than a day to depart from the realization that “all over”. End.”

If you read this, and you think that I’m not waiting for Half-Life 3-you are mistaken. I still think the Half-Life series and its creators “Bestevar”, and a bunch of warm words, but this is an additional incentive not to torment yourself days of waiting, knowing that it is better to enjoy what is, as long as you have to say goodbye to the adventures of Gordon Freeman, and only sometimes, indulging in the waves of nostalgia ..

And on this, I have everything – damn it, the brain is already boiling. I even forgot that it is so annoying. Perhaps that is why I only have to say what to say “thank you” for reading, wish good luck, and go play uncharted, I have been hanging there for an hour and a half without an hour.
Vooooooooooo.
